On Saturday, November 3rd, the MWL Community Action Committee hosted “Girl Scout Law Day” at the University of St. Thomas School of Law Moot Court Room in Minneapolis.  Registration filled up quickly, with 50 girls and 15 parents in attendance.  A full morning was scheduled with a wide variety of topics and presenters (see agenda below).  Each Girl Scout who completed the event received a Girl Scout Law Day patch.  Thanks to all those who presented at the event, and congratulations to the MWL Community Action Committee for another great  success.   

Here’s to the next generation of women attorneys!
